Randomized placebo controlled trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of single low-dose intracoronary insulin-like growth factor following percutaneous coronary intervention in acute myocardial infarction (RESUS-AMI)
Conclusions In this pilot trial, low-dose IGF1, given after optimal mechanical reperfusion in STEMI, is safe but does not improve LVEF. However, there is a signal for a dose-dependent benefit on post-MI remodeling that may warrant further study.

An open-Label, 2 × 2 factorial, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the safety of apixaban vs. vitamin K antagonist and aspirin vs. placebo in patients with atrial fibrillation and acute coronary syndrome and/or percutaneous coronary intervention: Rationale and design of the AUGUSTUS trial
Publication date: June 2018 Source:American Heart Journal, Volume 200 Author(s): Renato D. Lopes, Amit N. Vora, Danny Liaw, Christopher B. Granger, Harald Darius, Shaun G. Goodman, Roxana Mehran, Stephan Windecker, John H. Alexander Background The optimal antithrombotic strategy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who develop acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and/or the need for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is uncertain. The risk of bleeding is a major concern when oral anticoagulation is required to prevent stroke, and concomitant therapy with antiplatelet agents is required to minimize recurrent ischemic ...

Genome-wide and candidate gene approaches of clopidogrel efficacy using pharmacodynamic and clinical endpoints - Rationale and design of the International Clopidogrel Pharmacogenomics Consortium (ICPC)
Conclusion The ICPC aims to identify new loci influencing clopidogrel efficacy by using state-of-the-art genetic techniques in a large cohort of clopidogrel-treated patients in order to better understand the genetic basis of on-treatment response variability.

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention and Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Receiving Apixaban or Warfarin: Insights from the ARISTOTLE Trial
Conclusions PCI occurred infrequently during follow-up. The majority of patients on study drug at the time of PCI remained on study drug in the peri-PCI period; 19% continued the study drug without interruption. Antiplatelet therapy use post-PCI was variable, though the majority of patients received DAPT. Additional data are needed to guide the use of antithrombotics in patients undergoing PCI.

Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of an Edoxaban-based Antithrombotic Regimen in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation Following Successful Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) with Stent Placement: Rationale and Design of the ENTRUST-AF PCI Trial
Publication date: Available online 23 October 2017 Source:American Heart Journal Author(s): Pascal Vranckx, Thorsten Lewalter, Marco Valgimigli, Jan G. Tijssen, Paul-Egbert Reimitz, Lars Eckardt, Hans-Joachim Lanz, Wolfgang Zierhut, Rüdiger Smolnik, Andreas Goette Background The optimal antithrombotic treatment after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is unknown. In the ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 trial, edoxaban was non-inferior to a vitamin-K antagonist (VKA) with respect to the prevention of stroke or systemic embolism and was associated with significantly lower rate...

Primary percutaneous coronary intervention at centers with and without on-site surgical support: Insights from the blue cross blue shield of Michigan cardiovascular consortium (BMC2)
Conclusions Primary PCI performed at centers with and without cardiac surgery have comparable outcomes and complication rates, when performed with close monitoring of quality and outcomes.

Outcomes in elderly and young patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention with bivalirudin versus heparin: pooled analysis from the EUROMAX and HORIZONS-AMI trials
Conclusions In a large group of elderly patients enrolled in the EUROMAX and HORIZONS-AMI trials, bivalirudin was associated with lower 30-day rates of non-CABG major bleeding, subacute ST and NACE, with similar 30-day rates of acute ST and mortality.

Long-Term Outcomes of Bypass Grafting Versus Drug-Eluting Stenting for Left Main Coronary Artery Disease: Results from the IRIS-MAIN Registry
Conclusions Among patients with significant LMCAD, the long-term risk of the composite outcome of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke was similar between CABG and PCI. Clinical variables that differentially predict adverse outcomes might be useful in triaging appropriate revascularization strategy

Clinical outcomes with percutaneous coronary revascularization vs coronary artery bypass grafting surgery in patients with unprotected left main coronary artery disease: A meta-analysis of 6 randomized trials and 4,686 patients
Conclusions In patients undergoing revascularization for ULMCAD, PCI was associated with similar rates of mortality compared with CABG at a median follow-up of 39 months, but with an interaction effect suggesting relatively lower mortality with PCI in patients with low SYNTAX score and relatively lower mortality with CABG in patients with high SYNTAX score. Both procedures resulted in similar long-term composite rates of death, myocardial infarction, or stroke, with PCI offering an early safety advantage and CABG demonstrating greater durability.

Clinical Outcomes with Percutaneous Coronary Revascularization versus Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery in Patients with Unprotected Left Main Coronary Artery Disease: A Meta-Analysis of Six Randomized Trials and 4686 Patients
Conclusions In patients undergoing revascularization for ULMCAD, PCI was associated with similar rates of mortality compared to CABG at a median follow-up of 39 months, but with an interaction effect suggesting relatively lower mortality with PCI in low SYNTAX score patients and relatively lower mortality with CABG in high SYNTAX score patients. Both procedures resulted in similar long-term composite rates of death, MI or stroke, with PCI offering an early safety advantage and CABG demonstrating greater durability.

Cangrelor reduces the risk of ischemic complications in patients with single-vessel and multi-vessel disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: Insights from the CHAMPION PHOENIX trial
Conclusion In the CHAMPION PHOENIX trial, MVD and SVD patients had similar ischemic outcomes at 48hours and 30days. Cangrelor consistently reduced ischemic complications in both SVD and MVD patients without a significant increase in GUSTO severe bleeding. Clinical perspectives What's known? Cangrelor is a novel, intravenous, potent, and rapidly acting P2Y12 inhibitor that has been demonstrated to reduce the rate of ischemic events at 48hours in patients who received PCI compared with clopidogrel. What's new? In contrast to prior studies, we found that in this modern cohort, patients with SVD and MVD had a similar risk of i...
